Released from every earthly burden, I fully expect this fierce, beautiful soul to roam freely—touching the peaks of the Himalayas, the jagged cliffs of the Andes, and every corner of the world we had not yet reached. Her final gift—the most peaceful, gentle passing, holding my hand and the hand of her lifelong friend, with family by her side—will be cherished always. At 9:09 p.m. PST, on December 30, 2025, Kristi slipped quietly into the next world, ready to continue her explorations with boundless joy.
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you all! Kristi and I were able to take a recent cruise vacation together, and overall it was an incredible trip — eight total countries, five of which were new to us. Aside from the pain Kristi has been living with and managing for some time, she did quite well on the trip. She had moments of energy, enjoyed the scenery and food, and was able to be present and engaged. We explored, played cards, ate great food, and simply enjoyed being away from appointments and daily routines for a while. We are very grateful we were able to make those memories together.

Given how quickly and significantly her condition shifted, we decided ...
Kristi’s pain is more under control than it was yesterday. A nurse spent a couple hours with us last night working on adjusting her meds. I use ChatGPT to understand complex medical uses and brainstorm what to ask drs and nurses. I asked it to help summarize Kristi’s current condition in order to accurately share with you all. This is the summary: “ Kristi is likely in an advanced stage of her illness. Her cancer has progressed to the point where her body is slowing down and using most of its energy just to stay comfortable. Right now: Her pain is better controlled She is very weak and tired She is not eating and drinking much, which is expected She is talking very little, but she can still understand us and respond by squeezing a hand Her body is beginning to slow down normal functions, like urinating She is not in an emergency at this moment, but she is declining, and this phase usually means time is becoming more limited.” ********** I’m not suggesting that you should, but if y...
